What is the difference between LCT203W 10.8 Volt and LCT209W 12V? Which is smaller drill and lighter? Or does it has a different charger? Which is better?

I was wondering the same thing and from the research I did they are the same drill, just a different voltage designation. They are both the same size and same charger. I am really happy with mine and it works great!

The body of 10.8 is approximately the same size as the 12 volt, it's in the battery area that it is different. The 12 volt has a larger square battery that is not too big but carries a longer charge with a little more torque. I bought mine with a specific purpose and it works absolutely perfect for me. I do sheet metal work on furnaces and duct work where I need to get into tight spaces with enough power and torque for small and medium sheet metal screws. It's smaller handle gives my hand the ability to move around the drill into different positions comfortably and still apply the force needed to drive the screw. The drill seems to stay charged for long periods but when it's done it's done. I used my 1st set steadily for about 3 years until they were stolen from my truck. I replaced them with the same drill. If you feel that you need more torque you may want to go with the 12 volt. I have checked other small drills, and there are some good ones out there but I stayed with Makita a very dependable drill.

the difference is the 10.8 v drill has a 1/4 inch hex bit chuck and the 12v drill has a regular drill chuck. with the regular chuck its a bit tough to get in tight areas... I use my 10.8 v drill as a cordless ratchet gun and it handles every job just fine

I believe the DC10WA charges only the 10.8 battery and the DC10WB will charge any makita battery with voltages between the 7.2 and 12 volts.

The battery size is the only difference as far as I know. I have heard that the drill isn't producing the full torque it's capable of when using the smaller batteries; not sure how true it is. For household projects, you'd be fine with the standard white set that's currently amazon's deal of the day. I'd only grab the LXT version if you're dead set against the color white, and will be running it all day every day. I have the white drill and love it.

Both are wrong. I used a 20v 3mAh battery, fully charged and was disappointed. Not what I expected. Dewalt was a little too generous with their own specs. I agree with Amazon's figure.

The one I bought did not come with a charger and that was clearly stated. I had the drill already. Great product.

So sorry for the late response. I just checked this email address. The answer is no. That is the drill I was looking to get a charger for. Once again, sorry for the late response.

As far as I know, they are the same, but the 9098 is shorter and lighter. Seems to provide the same amount of power and actually lasts longer between charges than the original battery that came with my drill. I've been pleased with it.

I believe the 780 is smaller and a little better built. Easiest way to tell is to go to dewalt.com and do a comparison.

Rodrigo, very sorry that I didn't answer sooner. The battery charger is 110 volts only. I had to buy a 240 volt charger on Ebay, after the drill arrived. I didn't check before I bought it, so my fault.

As I have developed more experience with the Dewalt tools, I have also noted short charging times. The 3A batteries really perform and are much preferred to the 1.5A in my drill/driver and impact driver.

You want to go from the Ni-Cd battery to the lithium battery (both 18V). I am unsure if the Lithium battery fits your drill, but if it does (and it should), then you will also need the specific Li-ion battery charger also. As a rule, Ni-Cd battery chargers are not interchangeable with LI-ion ones. The Li-ion battery charges up faster and has less of a memory effect than the Ni-Cd battery - it just works better.

same drill but the Z in the model number refers to the bare tool version. The other version comes with batteries and charger and such. If you already have Makita batteries and chargers from other kits you purchased and you do not have a need for more, then this is the way to go. However, I have been using this drill so far and I do not like it compared to the older version. This one looks new and shorter but does not feel likes its very powerful. It could be my older batteries though.

My husband has passed away but I'll try and answer for you. We have a drill dcd775 with a seperate battery charger on 240v dc9310xe and also a charger for the car with a cig adaptor dc9319. Can't go wrong with dewalt.

All of the 18 volt Dewalt batteries are interchangeable. We have changed over to the 9181 (lithium ion) and you have to use the new charger. We still charge the old batteries (9098 and 9099) in the new charger. The money is in the batteries so we have retained the Dewalt line for work. The tool is very handy for anything less than an inch socket. Be careful using it on the smaller bolts since it can strip out the threads.

Not knowing what model drill and saw you have, I can't answer that directly. I believe that I replaced the same battery that you have with this one and it worked great in my drill. But, it would not work in my charger. If you look closely at the battery terminals, you will see a keyway that is in a different location than on the original battery. I ended up having to also buy a new charger. Not all Craftsman 18V batteries and chargers are created equal!

John as far as I have been told any Dewalt 18Volt battery will replace another. The difference lies in the power stored in a charged battery. I bought some slightly less powered batteries to replace originals in DeWalt tools I bought and they are fine. If you are a home user as I am you don't demand the longer charge life that a contractor would need. I did use lower powered batteries in a reciprocating DeWalt saw and it ran out of juice faster than I would have expected. My powered screwdriver seemed to work about the same time as the original battery. I found I could buy two batteries on Amazon for less than one at Lowe's Home improvement centers. I believe the main thing is what you are using the batteries for, not the interchangeability. I hope this non-professional answer helps you.

Hi, it's just a 12 volt. Not a lot of heavy duty power. If you'll notice that below the bit and just before the orange of the drill is a white collar with numbers on it. That might be what you need. Mine is set on 1.I don't have my book handy but there's got to be a reason that those numbers are there. I'm not a real "Tim the tool man" lady...but hope this helps.
